The eight bells is my local, and absolutely a favourite for us to take visitors. I am so disappointed that sadly our experience on Friday evening was as it was....

The food and ambiance were great but the service was unfriendly and sullen. The staff need customer service training!

Very good Sunday roast with interesting, tasty, slightly unusual starters. Excellent quick and friendly service.

"This place is as good as it gets as far as Turkish food outside of Türkiye. Grab the Kofte Kebab with some smaller items as it's the best thing on the menu. They have a 28 pound deal of an app, a kebab desert and coffee, worth at least one person grabbing for the table to try as apart of any trip."

"I visited here on Saturday 19th of February and was absolutely amazed. My husband and I were in Cambridge for a trip away and were told to try the sea tree. The food was amazing! I had the seafood risotto which was to die for. My husband had cod and chips which was also spot on. The portion sizes were more than enough which was lovely to see that you get your money’s worth! We had a beautiful bottle of white wine served with our main. The environment was made super welcoming and friendly by the chatty and smiley waitress who couldn’t do enough for us. Even though the place was full it didn’t seem hectic or chaotic. All the tables looked to be having a lovely time. Overall the food was incredible, the service was enthusiastic, positive and welcoming and the atmosphere of the place was lovely to see. We couldn’t stop talking about what a lovely place we had found. Will definitely be returning and recommending to lots of people!"
